I Think A Lot Of Presidents Learn

As Women Have Played An Increasingly Important Role In Politics, There Is No Question That They've Brought A Different Perspective, Focusing Attention On A Broader Set Of Issues And Building Alliances With Other Women.

Part Of Obama's Persona Is Self-reliance. He's Calm; He's Cool; He's Self-possessed. In Many Ways, He Has Tried To Define Himself In Opposition To Clinton's Sometimes Needy, Often Undisciplined, Emotionalism.

When I Joined Bill Clinton's Start-up Presidential Campaign In 1991, I Was Confident That Women Would Play An Ever More Important Role, But I Never Gave A Minute's Thought To What Would Happen If We Won. When We Did - And I Became The First Woman To Serve As White House Press Secretary - It Changed My Life. But It Didn't Change The World.

The Press Never Accepts At Face Value That The President Is Taking A Certain Action Because He Wants To Create Jobs Or Because He Believes That It Is In The Best Interests Of The American People Or That He Is Genuinely Committed To Making Life Better For People.

Clinton Had Absolutely Zero Honeymoon, None Whatsoever.
